I spent about a week and a half in Nagarkot, which is on the outskirts of the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal. You can see Kathmandu and it’s neighbouring city Bhaktapur from the mountaintops in Nagarkot, but it’s a world away. Before going to Nagarkot I was in Kathmandu trying to use Google to find the best next stop, but when it came to Nagarkot I couldn’t find much info that wasn’t related to trekking (actually it’s hard to find any information related to Nepal that isn’t related to trekking). So, now that I’ve been there, I wanted to share what you can do in Nagarkot that’s not trekking-related.

I’ve put together a very rough draft of initial designs for my upcoming personal project. I’m a bit pressed for time writing this post, so here’s a copy of what I sent out to my Beta testers when I shared this mockup with them.

My friend Jeroen Dijkhuizen, a fellow freelancer/world traveler who I met in Seoul, is doing a series of interviews on people who are making their living while traveling at the same time. He decided to interview me in the series.

You can read the full interview here.

Spent my day here today; it’s a Buddhist temple on the far corner of Busan, which is a city on the southern tip of South Korea. Almost every temple in most Asian countries looks pretty much exactly the same as every other temple (at least every other temple within the same country), but this temple is one of the exceptions.
